Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In dairy cattle, genomic selection has been implemented successfully for purebred populations, but, to date, genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) for crossbred cows are rarely available, although they are valuable for rotational crossbreeding schemes that are promoted as efficient strategies. An attractive approach to provide GEBV for crossbreds is to use estimated marker effects from the genetic...
